How do the locals pronouce "Scituate"?



It's fun to listen to some of the national news outlets or visitors to
MA try to pronounce "Worcester" correctly.

Up here, it's a two syllable word.

Thanks, I was seriously interested. There are some town names all over the country that are pronounced a bit strange except for the locals.

I'm guessing Worcester is pronounced worsh-ster.

Pronouncing "r's" at the end of a word is a waste of time and breath.

I always heard it pronounced "Wuuusta" and "Wista."
Massachusetts is full of fun place names, like, oh, Haverhill.
I have some cousins that grew up in towns on Boston's North Shore, and
it is always a grin to talk to them because of their pronunciation
differences and their vocabularies full of unique local words.
